Located in one of the most privileged places in the neighborhood of Barra da Tijuca and with a breathtaking view to the beach, LSH Barra Hotel opened in August of this year and now offers its five-star service to the city. With many features that set it apart from other hotels, such as the pyramid-shape of the 12-store building – constructed like that so that visitors who are in the sand strip in front of the building don’t have their sunbathing ruined by the shadow of the skyscraper – and the exquisite service, the hotel is a great option for those who want to lodge in the Barra region.

With spaces dedicated to events and meetings, a garage and valet parking service, LSH Barra Hotel is versatile, and can serve travelers that come to Rio either for business or for leisure. With spacious and well-furnished spaces,there are various lodging options, like the pleasant Garden rooms, which have a balcony and a garden. One of the high points of the hotel is its location, right by Praça do Ó (square), in front of the beach, near the main malls and restaurants of the neighborhood and with easy access to the Barra subway station.

The ample and wellfurnished lobby where visitors are welcomed also offers a bar for those who want to relax and get to know the place. The ground floor also has the hotel’s restaurant, Esplanada Grill, the meat house that has been popular in Ipanema for nearly thirty years due to the special meat cuts and the plentiful “couvert” (appetizer).

With 75 rooms in full operation, LSH Barra Hotel will have nearly a hundred new rooms starting from the second half of 2017, when its construction is finished. Among the new rooms, the highlights are the suites on the upper floors with a view to the sea, five of which will have private pools on their balcony. Those who don’t demand this much privacy can use the inviting infinity edge pool, which feels really inviting for a casual swim after having drinks at the connected bar.
